Delaware

For LPN and RN licensure:

Delaware has not made a determination of whether an out of state school meets curriculum requirements.  Instead, for RN licensure, Delaware requires that an RN applicant must:

• Graduate from a board approved nursing program in the state where the program is located.
• Have completed at least 200 clinical hours for an LPN program and 400 clinical hours for a RN program.

For APRN licensure:

• Graduate from an APRN graduate or post-graduate program accredited by a nursing accrediting body (that is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or its successor organization) in the role and at least one population focus congruent with the licensure application.
